Joseph Anthony

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Joseph Anthony (May 24, 1912– January 20, 1993) was an American playwright and director.

Born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Anthony's first Broadway credit was as the author of the 1934 play A Ship Comes In. Three years later he debuted as an actor and appeared in Lady in the Dark, Peer Gynt, and Camino Real, among others. He ultimately directed numerous Broadway productions, including The Rainmaker, The Most Happy Fella, The Best Man, Rhinoceros, Mary, Mary, 110 in the Shade, and the infamously ill-fated David Merrick-produced musical version of Breakfast at Tiffany's. He was nominated for a Best Director Tony Award five times but never won.

Anthony's film credits include The Rainmaker (1956), The Matchmaker (1958), All in a Night's Work (1961) and Tomorrow (1972), the latter generally regarded as the finest screen adaptation of a William Faulkner story.

Anthony died in Hyannis, Massachusetts.
